Toshiba lands more NAND flash orders from Apple

Besides a warm up in demand for NAND flash, Taiwan industry players attribute the recent price rise in the NAND flash spot market to extra orders that Toshiba landed from Apple and Samsung Electronics’ speculated bottleneck issues in its transition to 50nm production. Sources at Taiwan-based memory module makers said that they have received notification from both Samsung and Hynix Semiconductor about a price rise in April.
